Helping States Strengthen Their Home- and Community-Based Workforces
February 16, 2007
Five states have won technical assistance grants in a second round of funding from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' National Direct Service Workforce Resource Center. The technical assistance will help the five—Georgia, New Jersey, North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Utah—strengthen the direct-care workforce providing their home- and community-based services.
The grants were awarded to Medicaid agencies because of the key role they play in quality assurance, educating workers and their supervisors, setting wage and benefit rates, and reimbursing providers in their states.
Visit the Resource Center website for descriptions of last year's grantees. Descriptions of the 2007 grantees' ongoing and planned work will be posted soon.
